adjoined :the beautiful tomb of Bp, Bic. Mitford, 'MedJord, "tir 

 Medeford,f 1407, whose chantry, or mass, was still in use in 1473 

 (ubi supra, p. 211 ; Wilts Arch. Mag., xxvii., 347). 1 



14 a , 14 b . An altar of St. Lawrence and St. Vincent: It has 

 been known to us for many years that the middle chapefor central 

 bay of the great south-west transept was occupied by- an altar of 

 St. Lawrence, of whom moreover, there were two relics at the 

 Cathedral (Salts. Proc. p. 34). But the Emmanuel fragment gives 

 us the additional information that the name of St.. Vincent was 

 associated in the dedication of this altar. Of St. Vincent Salisbury 

 had a relic (ib. p. 38). For a subsequent dedication proposed or 

 perhaps effected in the case of another altar, at a date subsequent 

 to this list, and wherein the name of St. Lawrence was associated, 

 see below, note on No. 16. 



15. Altar of B. Michael [The Archangel]. This, I believe, was 

 in the most northerly bay of the great north-west transept, and it 

 faced the door by which the Bishop when coming from his palace 

 usually enters the Cathedral Church from the cloister. A frontal 

 representing St. Michael " slaying Devils," and driving Satan into 

 a flaming hell, was given in memory of Simon of Ghent, cir. 1315, 

 and was in existence in 1536 ; but it belonged to the high altar. 

 Salisb. Proc, p. 167. 



16. Altar in the body of the Church, before the- great cross, on 

 the north side [of the nave]. The dedication-title in this instance 

 is unfortunately cut off in the Emmanuel College fragment, but I 

 have no doubt that the missing words are " sancti dionisii,"- — St. 

 Denys' altar. Sir John Chitterne's "altar of St. Mary and the 

 B. Martyrs, St. Denys and St Lawrence, between the columns of 

 the nave," was dedicated 10th April, 1434, in the twelfth year of K. 

 Henry VI. (some years subsequently to the writing of the list in 

 our fragment). See Salisb. Proc, pp. 77, 201, 211. Early in the 

 fifteenth century the Salisbury Corporation and the Merchant Gild 



1 It appears from a note near the end of Liber Ruber, from Statutes of 

 J26th July, 1399, that the residue of the rent of the corner house to the 

 north of the Close after paying dues for the obit (21st July) of Alex. 

 |Hemyngsby (fl366) was to be expended on an image of St. Margaret.
